New (Beauty) Bits: 2 Instanatural Body Creams

Being young is a good and a bad thing. Good things, like good skin, don't come easy to everyone. I have not had the fortune of having the most beautiful skin, which is partly my own fault. I did not exfoliate properly when I was little so now I have lots of stretch marks, but now, I've got a new way to fix that or at least not make them look so bad.

New (Beauty) Bits: Modere Beauty Box

Hello lovelies!! It's been so long since I've made a post for you all and I'm so so sorry for that! But I've got a new one for you all that will hopefully make it better! I was reached out to by a company called Modere and they asked if I would like to review their Beauty Box. I realized that I'm in dire need of new beauty products for the F/W because my face is PEELING super bad at the moment. So I hopped on the chance and...

(Sort of) New Hair Bits: Crown & Glory Earth Wind and Fire Flower Crown

This item is sort of new, but sort of old. I've just gotten into wearing flower crowns this summer, after realizing how cute they actually were, and this one from Crown & Glory is the first I ever had!! I'd won it in  a contest they ran a while ago, but I just never got around to wearing it for real!! 

Working with the new ONE DIRECTION MAKEUP LINE!

So recently on Brand Backer, a site I use to help find new opportunities for my blog, an opportunity for One Direction came up! Since they are my favourite band, of course I clicked on it immediately, and I waited for a bit. A few days ago, I got an email saying, Congratulations!! You've been accepted into the campaign! I don't think I've ever screamed so loud about something for my blog, not yet at least! So I'm happy to say that I am getting the chance to review the guys' premiere makeup line and I get to tell you all all about it!!! YAY!!

Once Upon A Time There Was a Prom Night in Atlanta...and it was Done Gatsby Style

It began with a box. A brown box with Rent The Runway stamped on it to be exact. I'd just gotten my nails prepped and I was ready to open the bow and see my prom dress. I'd tried it on once in the RTR shop in Bergdorfs in NYC, and trying this dress on was the reason I chose it! I had to wait 3 weeks until I actually saw the dress again, so picking shoes and jewelry was pretty blind, yet it turned out all to be perfect!! I love the inside of the box, and the phrase on the inside "The dress is just the beginning," because, yes, it really was.

They called Vibrance Vitamins, and they are great though.

Beauty: Aveda Face Trials

At the beginning of October, my mom took me by Aveda to find a new skin care product. I had been using a clean and clear product, but it had drastically dried out my face and I even got a bit of a rash from it. Long story short, my face was not doing so hot. When we went by Aveda, and the salesman recommended a line for me to try. It was expensive, but they said give it three weeks! Well the 3 weeks are up, and this is my review!
